First time I've ever been threatened...
« on: February 02, 2016, 04:36:22 PM »
Fella registers at 2:30PM CST.  Sends me nasty note #1 at 3:00.  Nasty note #2 at 3:30. Threat at 4:00 that if I didn't approve his account immediately, he would "find my arrogant and egotistical ### and give me a once over like I've never had".  He has to get an answer regarding his EV immediately.  Guess he's one of those that think this is a major corporation and we sit around all day just approving accounts and babysitting topics.

Needless to say, he'll not be joining us.  We don't need that attitude here.  Reason # 6,709 why manual approvals work perfectly.

Hope all is well on your end  :grin:  Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming :thumb:

Yeah, some people take this stuff way too serious. It's just a discussion board.  I had the feeling that he thought I was affiliated with Moto Guzzi themselves or something.  After explaining the privatized nature of the board and no affiliation, I simply told him there were other places he may be best served and gave him a link to link to the Guzzi dealership page and a link to some grumpy people discussion board I found, hehe.

That's bizzare. I know this Guzzi community is pretty small comparatively speaking, but I've never run into quite this "unbalanced"  arrogance and impatience among our group. I hope he finds his answers.

It's possible.  I didn't ban his IP though. I just sent him a different direction.  If he wants to play nice, I'll welcome him in.

Eh, it's all good.  Maybe he was having an off day or something and will come back in a better mood someday.

Even if he gets in in some way, his attitude will probably show sooner rather than later and then he can be properly banned after he gets a verbal ass whooping from us.

Well Luap, just do what any arrogant a$$ would do and ban him for life.  That's obviously what he wants anyway.
